Ah, well, he would be unselfish enough to go away without telling of the hope of his heart. If he came back there would be ample time to tell her; it was needless to bind her to a long-absent lover. If he came back crippled if he never came back at all Oh, why delve into the future! IN the little town of Greenwald there is performed each year in June an interesting ceremony, the Feast of Roses.

They looked up as the trim, lady-like figure stepped lightly down from the ambulance, and the long-absent luster returned briefly to their sad eyes. "That looks like home, Jim," said one of the fever-wasted. "That it does. Lord! she looks as fresh and sweet as the Johnny-jump-ups down by our old spring-house. I expect she's come down here to find somebody that belongs to her that's sick.
